- How to retire in 24 years (Nothing financial is 100% certain - but this comes close.)
- Five suggestions for choosing a good spouse

- Stocks, bonds, mortgages, REITS, certificates of deposit, mutual funds
- How Kingie made his fortune.

This book is designed for 10th grade through adults.

Health is much more important than making a pile of money.

Having a loving and caring family life is more precious than mansions and yachts.

But having a decent amount of money can add a lot of pleasure in life. Being able to give things to your loved ones (and to yourself) is the ultimate reason to acquire wealth. Having wealth can subtract a lot of pain.

This book might do more to increase the happiness of its readers than any of the math books (or the four high school language arts books) written by Stan Schmidt.
